Hello, Karel!

Thanks!

Mea culpa! I changed the database (added ClickHouse support in addition to DuckDB) and some queries were not fixed for that. Now it's working again.

The Nodelist wasn't always handled very well during Fidonet's history. For example, some Nodelists are missing Z1 entirely (or some nets and regions), sometimes nodes are duplicated and so on. I'm working on providing some solution for these issues, but it'll take a while since it's not a top priority right now.

It's not a replacemnt, just another implementation with more features.
For example: pointlists will be added soon.

KK> Also, who would need API for that? I mean for what reason?

I do! I need it for my new echo reader. And also to get some fun.
For example: https://nodelist.fidonet.cc/analytics
